WAYNE, N.J. - The Catholic University field hockey team was
eliminated from the East Coast Athletic Conference tournament
Wednesday afternoon with a 1-0 loss to top-seeded William Patterson
(13-6). The eighth-seeded Cards finish the season 11-9.

William Patterson scored midway through the first half on a goal
by Christina Ayusa off of a penalty corner. That goal would
be the game winner as neither team could find the back of the cage
for the remaining 55 minutes making the final 1-0 and advancing
William Patterson to the semifinals on Saturday.

Despite the loss, the Cards had their opportunities outshooting
the opponent 8-6 and take one more penalty corner with a 7-6
advantage. Marian Cassilly (Gambrills, Md./Archbishop
Spalding) took the loss for CUA with a pair of saves for the game.

The Cards lose just two seniors from this season's squad and
will return a majority of the starting lineup in 2008.
